Abstract

This extended abstract is the starting point of ongoing empirical research, which aims at challenging the claim that the concept of a Free Body Diagram (FBD) in engineering mechanics is a threshold one. In the abstract, we first discuss the notion of threshold concepts, including making references to literature claiming that FBD is a threshold concept. We critically discuss this literature. As a first step in discussing if FBD is indeed a threshold concept, we perform a test to students after following a course teaching the students FBD, among other things. We did not yet succeed in verifying that drawing FBDs is a threshold concept.
